Trauma and PTSD Therapists in 10021

As an integrative psychotherapist who incorporates a range of psychodynamic and mind/body modalities and techniques, I work with individuals and couples. My passion to provide the best treatment I can is informed by ongoing learning and integration of the latest research. Following 4 years of relational psychoanalytic training, I started years of intensive study of trauma, EMDR, mindfulness, and Somatic Psychotherapy. Additionally, I have a speciality in couples counseling and trained in the Gottman Method and Sue Johnson's Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples. I consider myself an EFT therapist.

In a safe, confidential and warm setting I provide trauma informed treatment to individuals and couples and specialize in the psychosocial impact of traumatic events.

You feel like you are not where you should be in life, like other people have it figured out, but you have not. You have a wall up that is meant to protect you, but instead, makes friendships or relationships difficult. You may even find yourself sabotaging so others never find out what’s behind the wall. This may be from a traumatic event or a life-time of trauma where you felt like you were just trying to survive. Sometimes it’s hard to trust yourself to make decisions or trust that other people really like you. You try to distract yourself, but you keep finding yourself back in your own head feeling lost.

I am not affiliated with any online platforms such as Betterhelp, Alma or Headway. As a seasoned therapist with over 24 years experience, I have helped many clients with feelings of anxiety, irritability, anger as a result of complex trauma. I help clients identify how they would like to improve their lives and help clients through the change process. Making a change can be overwhelming. Using strengths that you already have, we will accomplish your goals. I am currently offering EMDR Intensives, which are half or full or multiple day EMDR sessions created just for you with you.

As a professional coach and licensed therapist, I help people heal their minds and form a new and stronger sense of self—one thriving through growth from personal exploration. Worry, distraction, stress, fear, self-doubt, poor habits or conflicting mindsets all contribute to the behaviors that thwart potentials. Whether in your teens, twenties or fifties, I help you unlock the stuck points holding you back. If you have experienced trauma, are managing anxiety or have self-doubt, we can build your self-efficacy so you can make life, career and relationship choices that align with the best version of who you choose to be.

Chronic pain and illness can have a significant impact on the lives of those living with it. They can take a toll on mental and emotional wellbeing, relationships, and the way we feel about ourselves. People often describe feeling frustrated with their body, unable to keep up with day to day tasks, or anxious for when they may feel unwell again. Interactions with the medical system and insurance companies can be exhausting and traumatic. Pain and illness can play a big part in our relationship dynamics; creating challenges with the people we care about most who want to help but don't seem to understand or know how.

Therapy is helpful when something in your life challenges your ability to live deeply and fully. In our work together we address what is in your way. It might be anxiety, depression, interpersonal issues, chronic stress, illness, trauma or something else unique to your history.

Everyone has the capacity to live with more clarity, connectedness and joy, and it's my pleasure to assist in enabling that.

Sometimes life can be very stressful due to a variety of barriers. Anxiety, depression or stress can interrupt our lives and lead to despair. Sometimes as individuals, we have the feeling that we are alone in this despair and that nothing can help us improve. Negative thinking and difficult emotions can lead to poor self-esteem and isolation from those we love, as well as difficulties attending to responsibilities or striving towards our goals in life. I believe all humans have the capacity for change and achieve our goals to transform into our best version of ourselves, and therapy can be a first step to achieving these goals.
